凡被狗啮,疮,忌食落葵及狗肉。云∶虽瘥,经一二年,但食此者必重发。重发者,与
初被啮不殊。其 狗啮疮重发,则令人狂乱,如 狗之状。
凡中蛇,不应言蛇,皆言虫,及云地索,勿正言其名也。
恶蛇之类甚多,而毒有瘥剧。时四月、五月,中青 、三角、苍虺、白颈、大蜴;六月
、七月,中竹狩、艾蝮、黑甲、赤目、黄口、反钩、白 、三角。此皆蛇毒之猛者,中人不
即治,多死。又有赤连、黄颔之类,复有六七种,而方不尽记其名。
水中黑色者,名公蛎。山中一种亦相似,不常闻螫人。
又有钩蛇,尾如钩,能倒牵人兽入水,没而食之。
又,南方有 蛇,人忽伤之,不死,终身伺觅其主不置,虽百人众中,亦直来取
之。惟远去出百里乃免耳。
又有 蛇,长七八尺,如船 状,毒人必死。即削取船 ,煮汁渍之便瘥。
但蛇例虽多,今皆以青条 尾、白颈艾蝮,其毒尤剧。大者中人,若不即治,一
日间举体洪肿,皮肉坼烂;中者,尚可得二三日也。
凡被蛇螫,第一禁,第二药。无此二者,有全剂,雄黄、麝香可预办。故山居者,宜令
又,恶蛇螫者,人即头解散,言此蛇名黑帝。其疮冷如冻凌,此大毒恶。不治,一日即
死。若头不散,此蛇名赤帝,其毒小轻,疮上冷,不治,故得七日死。
凡蛇疮未愈,禁热食;热食便发,治之根据初被螫法也。
凡是遭到狗咬伤出现疮口的,应当忌食落葵和狗肉。据说:即使伤口痊愈,经过一两年后,如果吃了这些食物,必定会再次发作。再次发作的情况,与当初被咬时没有两样。这种狗咬疮的复发,会导致人精神狂乱,呈现出像狗一样的状态。
凡是中了蛇毒,不应该直接说“蛇”,都要称为“虫”,并且称之为“地索”,不要直接说出它的名字。
恶毒的蛇种类很多,但毒性有轻重之分。在四月、五月期间,容易中毒的是青竹蛇、三角蛇、苍虺、白颈蛇、大蜥蜴(此处指一种毒蛇);六月、七月期间,容易中毒的是竹狩蛇、艾蝮蛇、黑甲蛇、赤目蛇、黄口蛇、反钩蛇、白颈蛇、三角蛇。这些都是毒性猛烈的蛇,人被咬后如果不立即治疗,大多会死亡。还有赤连蛇、黄颔蛇等种类,又有六七种,但方书未能完全记住它们的名字。
水中黑色的蛇,名叫公蛎。山中有一种也相似,不常咬伤人。
还有一种钩蛇,尾巴像钩子,能倒着把人或牲畜拖入水中,淹没后吃掉它们。
另外,南方有一种蛇,人一旦被它咬伤,不会立刻死亡,但它终身都在寻找并攻击原来的主人,即使在百人之中,它也会径直来取人性命。只有远远逃离百里之外才能免除灾祸。
还有一种船形蛇,长七八尺,形状像船,咬人必死。此时削取船形的木头,煮汁浸泡伤口即可痊愈。
虽然蛇的种类繁多,但现在认为青条尾蛇、白颈艾蝮蛇的毒性最为剧烈。大的蛇咬中人,如果不立即治疗,一天之内全身都会红肿,皮肉破裂腐烂;小的蛇咬中,尚可拖延二三天。
凡是遭到蛇咬伤,第一要务是禁忌(饮食行为),第二是使用药物。如果没有这两者,可以预先备好雄黄、麝香等成药。所以居住在山区的人,应该提前准备。
另外,被恶毒之蛇咬伤者,人会立即头痛欲裂,这种蛇名叫黑帝。其伤口冰冷如冰凌,这是大毒恶症。如果不治疗,一天就会死亡。如果头痛不剧烈,这种蛇名叫赤帝,其毒性较轻,伤口发冷,如果不治疗,七天才会死亡。
凡是蛇疮尚未痊愈,禁止吃热食;吃热食就会引发病情,治疗时应按照初被蛇咬的方法进行。
For any wound caused by a dog bite, one should avoid eating *Malva verticillata* (Luokui) and dog meat. It is said that even if the wound heals, after one or two years, consuming these foods will inevitably cause a recurrence. The recurrence is indistinguishable from the initial injury. Such a recurrence of a dog-bite wound can cause madness and restlessness, with symptoms resembling those of a dog.
Regarding snakebites, one should not explicitly say "snake," but rather refer to it as "insect" (Chong), and also call it "earth rope" (Disuo), avoiding the direct naming of the creature. There are many types of venomous snakes, and their toxicity varies in severity. In April and May, bites often involve the green-striped bamboo viper, triangular-headed snake, Canghui, white-necked snake, and large lizard-like vipers; in June and July, bites may involve the Zhu Shou viper, Ai Fu viper, black-armored snake, red-eyed snake, yellow-mouthed snake, hooked-tail snake, white-necked snake, and triangular-headed snake. These are all highly venomous species; if not treated immediately after being bitten, death is common. There are also Chi Lian snakes, Huang Han snakes, and several other varieties, though medical texts do not record all their names. Black snakes found in water are called Gong Li. A similar species exists in mountains but rarely bites humans. There is also a Hook Snake (Goushe) with a tail like a hook, capable of dragging humans and animals into the water by force, drowning and devouring them. Additionally, in the south, there is a type of snake whose bite does not cause immediate death, but the snake will relentlessly pursue its victim for life, striking even amidst crowds of hundreds. Only fleeing more than a hundred li away can ensure safety. There is also a boat-shaped snake, seven or eight chi long, shaped like a boat; its bite is fatal. One can cure this by shaving wood from a boat, boiling it to make a decoction, and soaking the wound in it. Although there are many types of snakes, the Green-Striped Tail Viper and White-Necked Ai Fu Viper are considered the most toxic. If bitten by a large snake and not treated immediately, the entire body will become swollen within a day, with skin and flesh cracking and rotting; if bitten by a smaller snake, one may survive for two or three days. For any snakebite, the first priority is dietary restriction, and the second is medication. If neither is available, pre-prepared compounds containing Realgar (Xionghuang) and Musk (Shexiang) should be kept. Therefore, those living in mountainous areas should prepare these in advance. Furthermore, if bitten by a highly venomous snake, the patient will suffer from severe headache; this snake is named Black Emperor (Heidi). The wound will feel cold like ice, indicating extreme toxicity. Without treatment, death occurs within a day. If the headache is not severe, the snake is named Red Emperor (Chidi); its toxicity is milder, and the wound feels cold. Without treatment, death occurs after seven days. While a snakebite wound has not healed, hot food must be avoided; consuming hot food will aggravate the condition, and treatment should follow the protocols for an initial snakebite.
